Bohemian Style:

I just got this Bohemian Stripe Knitted Cardigan Sweater. I'm in love with the Bohemian Style, so much! It's cool because there's lots of color, patterns, and can go with many things.

You can dress up Bohemian clothes with slacks, black pants, or a black skirt. It can also be worn on days where you don't want to dress up; by pairing it with jeans.

I happen to have Bohemian shoes, so I wore them with the sweater. My pants and top under the sweater were all black.

Good for Snowy Days:

Yesterday it snowed. The boys got off school, for the second time this winter, due to snow. My students had class. I really didn't want to go in to teach; it was cold, the boys were home having fun without me, and I knew many students wouldn't show up.

I actually had most of my class show up in the morning, but they trickled down to a wapping two students by the afternoon. It boosted my moral by wearing something new, and warm. The classroom I was in is always cold.

What the Bohemian Sweater is Made of: 

I’m not to fond of what it’s made of:

55% nylon
40% acrylic
5% rabbit fur

I wish companies would add less plastic in clothing, and packaging! I'm ok with animal fur as long as the animal passed away naturally, or it's being used fully. Native Americans used animal fur, but they also used their bones, their meat and so on. I hate the idea of animals being killed just so one part of them being used, for our consumption. Does that make any sense? I know only 5% is rabbit fur, while the rest is other things. What are the best things to use to make fabrics? Any thoughts?

Care:

It can be washed in a standard washer!

I actually bumped into the car yesterday when I was cleaning it off. The sweater got black snow on it. Those that live in the south, snow is only pretty, for one day. After that it's a black slushy mess; from cars, trucks, busses, and SUVs! I just washed my sleeve in the sink with a drop of hand soap, and it came clean. 

Where to Get This Stylish Bohemian Sweater?

You can get it for $145, but it's on sale for $65 at Backnear https://backnear.com/collections/sweaters/products/bohemian-stripe-knitted-cardigan.

It did take a long time to get it. I'm spoiled with Amazon Prime. I think it was worth the wait. I'll wear it a lot.

Isaak made himself some cardboard glasses and said, "Mom take a picture of me. I've got style!"

He also decided to put his white t-shirt around his waist to look like a skirt.

The next day we were talking about movies that we've never seen, but would like to. Pan's Labyrinth came up. I showed the boys some pictures from it. Isaak held up his dried fruit to look like a character from the movie.

Isaak also decided to make this paper hat.

 

Cane Expressions Review

I've been eying Cane Expressions for awhile. My Mom had Polio when she was little; more recently she had her ankle fused.  

Here is the inside of her ankle:

Her ankle is more hardware than ankle. She's past using a walker, and rolleraid. Now she uses a cane. Alone the cane is not so fashionable. That's where Cane Expressions has helped. 

How to use slip on the cane cover:

1. Their cane covers fit any standard cane.
2. Take the cane apart, or remove the rubber stopper.
3. Slip the cane cover on, and put the cane back together. 
4. If it gets dirty, just machine or hand wash in cold water. Then put it on the line to dry.

It's so easy an 8 year old can do it. :)

Your cane. Your style: 

They have so many patterns and colors to pick to put on your cane. Now my mom wants more. She really wants a white and black one.

We love the variety of colors and patterns they come in. It's nice because now my mom's cane will stand out. They are easy to take on and off. The cleaning part is simple to.

Their Story:
"Rhonda's 75 year old mothers was having issues with balance and with her knees. She needed to use a cane, but did not want to, as it made her feel old and it was unattractive.

A friend decided to bead her cane for her as a craft project. She took a beaded belt and glued it to the shaft of the cane. Rhonda's mom began using the cane and was delighted when people stopped her and complimented her on her beautiful cane."
